Understanding
Gum Disease
Gum disease starts with plaque buildup on your teeth, which can irritate your gums and lead to inflammation. As the condition progresses, it can cause pockets to form between your gums and teeth, creating a breeding ground for bacteria that can damage your bone and tissue. At Lakeview Dental, we use a combination of advanced diagnostic tools and tailored treatments to effectively manage and reverse gum disease. Dr. Hirschfield will assess the severity of your gum disease and recommend the best course of action to improve your oral health.
Treatment Options for Gum Disease
Risk Assessment and Diagnosis
We conduct thorough exams to identify the early signs of gum disease, allowing us to intervene before it worsens.
Scaling and Root Planing
This deep cleaning method removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the tooth roots to help gums reattach properly.
Antibiotic Treatments
Targeted antibiotics, such as Arestin, are applied directly to the affected areas to reduce infection and promote healing.

We believe in empowering our patients with knowledge. You'll receive guidance on how to care for your gums at home to prevent future issues.
